We have a new log cabin. If I apply Tim-bor as directed and wait for it to dry, can I apply Flood oil based stain over the Tim-bor? Thank you
Normally we would recommend using Boracare instead of Timbor on wood that is planning to be stained, since Timbor leaves a white powdery residue on the surface of the wood that often needs to be cleaned off or removed prior to applying the stain. When mixed thoroughly before spraying, Boracare would dry clear and not change the appearance of the wood. That being said, yes you can apply any type of stain, paint, or finish to wood after your initial application of Timbor or Boracare has been able to try completely on the wood surface. This could be a few hours to a few days depending on how heavy the product was applied and how quickly the wood absorbs the product.
